Chapter 213, the desperate battle in northern Xiangbei
"Yes, we are the strongest γγγγ"
After Coach Anzai's words, although Sakuragi Hanamichi was still unconvinced, thinking that Dad was making a big fuss. But Akagi and Mitsui have already understood that this is already their best choice. So, after repeating their maxims, everyone's faith was stronger than ever.
Coach Anzai of Xiangbei rearranged the tactics for the players until halftime, and asked Liuchuan Feng to contain Zebei as much as possible and persist until the end of the first half. Offensively, it is transferred to other people. We must try to ensure that at the end of the first half, Xiangbei cannot fall behind.
With the referee's whistle, the players of both teams walked back onto the field. When they stood still, Kamikaze saw a light in their eyes from the Rukawa Wind, which was the determination to fight to the death.
"Coach Anthy." Kamikaze said softly, Coach Anzai Ken didn't just give them confidence. The time is not right, and it won't be needed for the time being. But what is the unprecedented momentum that erupted from Akagi and Mitsui in front of them?
Not only did Kamikaze Dao feel this way, but the first people of the Mountain King also felt the changes in Xiangbei at the moment. It's not just playing basketball, look at this momentum, they're going to work hard.
And at the beginning of the game, it also confirmed their ideas. Before Issei Fukatsu took two steps with the ball, he was tightly pressed by Miyagi, the defender of northern Xiangbei. Although the other party's height is not as good as his, he is just as flexible and fast, and he keeps disturbing him with small movements, which makes him feel pressured. After the ball was passed, the opposing defenders still did not relax their guards and still stared at themselves.
The contest between the two sides heated up sharply, and the physical contact became more and more intense. Nobe Shohiro's pass was interfered with by Sakuragi Hanamichi, and he was poked by Miyagi Ryota again, flying to the feet of everyone and rolling non-stop. However, Rukawa Wind actually ignored the risk of injury, flew to the floor, and grabbed the ball in his arms.
When attacking, the ball is no longer handed over to Rukawa to deal with. Mitsui Shou kept running like a child, and Akagi Goken and Sakuragi Hanamichi under the basket both used their strength to feed and put their respective opponents behind them.
In the last minutes of the first half, the game seemed to have risen to a higher level. Fierce confrontations, scrambling regardless of the danger of injury, and never-ending running are constantly staged on the field at any time.
By the end of the first half, the score between Xiangbei and the Mountain King was still only one point, 38-37, and Xiangbei won the lead with an extremely fierce scramble.
"They look so tired." Ai Uehara covered her mouth with her hands, and her heart was extremely unbearable. Rukawa looked fine, but Mitsui Shou and Miyagi looked tired, and the sweat on their bodies kept flowing. The five of them were all gasping for breath, looking very embarrassed.
"What is Coach Anzai doingγγγγ Seeing the end of the players in Xiangbei, the tired figure, Miss Yayoi Aida asked the question in her heart.
"They're so tiredγγγ they don't look goodγγγ"
"That's right, it's only the first half, what should I do in the second halfγγγγγ"
"I said a long time ago that they can't beat the γγγγγ of the Mountain King"
"Damn," Da Nan and Gao Gong were all angry as they listened to the words of those around them. Sakuragi Hanamichi looked really tired, but they just didn't think Xiangbei would lose. No matter how difficult it is, they have come step by step, and they will not fall so easily.
"I have to say that they were really tenacious and the intensity of the game was beyond my imagination. But γγγ, they can't win like thisγγγ no, let alone win, in the second half of the game, I'm afraid they won't be able to play. Katori Yushita and Sawada Maida were also frowning, and it was not the first time they had seen a similar match. However, it's not like you're going to be fine after a game.
"No, that's the best way for them." Kamikaze Michichi said slowly. Seeing this, he already fully understood Coach Anthy's plan. The early outburst of the Mountain King, as well as the eye injury of Rukawa Feng, may be the reason for Coach Anzai's decision.
"Then γγγγ that tomorrow's gameγγγγγ" Sawada Meidai didn't expect Kamikaze Michiichi to agree with such a style of play, and looked back at him. However, she was only halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Kamikaze.
"There's no tomorrow's game." Kamikaze shook his head: "This is their last battle. β
"What γγγγγ"
"However, there are still several γγγγ in the national competition"
"That's after winning the Mountain King." Kamikaze Dao glanced at Yohei and a few of them, and then continued: "If you can't win, there will be no future at all. What's more, you don't know yet, in yesterday's game, Rukawa Kaze's eye was injured, and I'm afraid it won't be possible to play for a long time. β
"What, there is such a thing?" Miss Yayoi Aida exclaimed. She only came here today, so she only knows the general result of yesterday's game, and she doesn't know the specific situation.
"Yes, without Liuchuanfeng, now Xiangbei is not even at the level of a first-class team, and it can't survive the next game."
"That Coach Anthy is γγγγ"
"Treat this battle as a decisive battle, if they can defeat the King of the Mountain, they will be the uncrowned king."
"The Uncrowned King!!"
Kamikaze Michichi's words surprised everyone around him. Just now, they had been thinking about letting Xiangbei win the game, but they hadn't thought that if Xiangbei really won the game, it would be in the limelight. As Kamikaze said, even if you don't win a national championship, you will definitely become famous.
But only Kamikaze Daoyi knows that Xiangbei at this time is more difficult than in the original book. And if they want to win the king of the mountain, it has become more difficult.
Throughout the intermission, the rest area in Xiangbei became very quiet. The five of them were seizing every second to rest and recover their strength as soon as possible.
In Coach Anzai's tactics, in the end, it was up to Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Wind to surprise and win the whole game. The others, Akagi, Mitsui and Miyagi, had to give their all in order to keep the score within a manageable range.
After the start of the second half, both King of the Mountains and Xiangbei began their most powerful attacks. Sanno's supervisor Domoto was very dissatisfied with Sanno's performance in the first half, and demanded that all players must establish the lead within the first five minutes of the second half.
Therefore, as soon as the second half came on the field, the players of the two teams began to collide with firepower. Everyone is full of strength and wants to defeat the other.
However, unlike in the original book. It can be clearly seen from the Kamikaze Road that the current Mountain King is much more cautious. Fukasawa is more calm and handles the ball more reasonably. And Zebei pressed the Liuchuan wind to death, and did not give the Liuchuan wind any gap.
Sakuragi Hanamichi has a certain advantage over Nobe Shohiro. However, it is also in the case of constant small movements. Akagi and Masashi Kawada are half a pound and eight taels, but Kawada occupies a certain advantage. Mitsui Shou is constantly entangled with Ichikura, occasionally shooting three-pointers.
Although Xiangbei has the upper hand, the scene is very hot and the game is very good. However, as time passed, Xiangbei's score became farther and farther away from that of the Mountain King. Just over halfway through the second half, Xiangbei was already 15 points behind the Mountain King.
Coach Anzai called a timeout again, and he could already see that Rukawa Kazuki and Mitsui Shou's physical strength was already running out. The rest of the team is also very tired, and if they wait until the end, I am afraid it will be difficult to launch a counterattack. Therefore, Coach Anzai called a timeout in time and told Rukawa Kazukazu Sakuragi, who was still full of strength, to make a final counterattack. As for how long he can hold on and what kind of results he will have, it is no longer something he can consider.
As soon as Kamikaze Dao saw this, he actually thought that Xiangbei's chances of victory were no longer great. No, it should be said that it is very slim. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad. I thought that mentioning Sakuragi Hanamichi would make them persist a little longer, but I didn't expect the opposite result.
In fact, Kamikaze Daoichi really wants to compete with the current Mountain King. Because, Wang Zhishan Wang Gonggao, most of his best players are third-graders. If there is no chance this time, then there will be no next time. Looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was still energetic on the field and shouting loudly for the ball, Kamikaze Michichi sighed helplessly. (To be continued.) )
